Have a camping spot on Lake Lavon east of Dallas. Just found out about a death in the family, and will now be out of town for that on Monday.

If someone's interested in the spot, let me know. $30.

https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232552

Gets 3.5 minutes of totality.

Spot is for 4/7 (Sunday) check in, 4/8 check out. RV spot with water, electric, sewage hookups.

Cloud cover forecast for the hill country is trending better (still not great though).

The HS I work at is getting 3:12 of totality. Taking 1800+ kids outside with 200 adults for 25 minutes. Hoping for a break in the cloud cover during totality.

I'm ready to look into the Men Who Stare at Goats or the Chinese weather cannons to improve this situation

That definitely happens a lot in Central Texas this time of year. Lots of cloud coverage, condensation, etc early and then it all disappears late morning.

yeah. and most of the time when the forecast calls for rain it's a total dud. unless it's like 100% chance.

We know this well considering how bad the drought has been in recent years.

also isn't it true that once totality is nearing, the sudden drop in temperatures and wind can blow the clouds away for a bit? not including dense low lying clouds.

With the forecast, you never know till last minute.

Clouds or not, it'll get dark for a few minutes.

Rockstar meteorologists are like hall of fame baseball greats… they only have to be right > 30% of the time.

People changing their plans 5 days out are putting waaay too much trust in a discipline that claims success for a 30% hit rate.

I haven't committed to changing the plan right now but being located in Dallas-Fort Worth I have options. We should get a clearer picture for Mondays eclipse by Saturday for sure

We're still headed to west SA on Sunday where we have a hotel reservation. Original plan was watching from family's house in Bandera. Now we may get up at 3am on Monday and head south (towards Del Rio) or North depending on how the forecasts go. Problem there being we have no destination so guess we'll be pulling off on the side of the road somewhere. Would probably need to be a pretty clear advantage to changing locales for us to commit to it.

This morning's run of the Canadian model definitely looking better, though still not perfect, for Texas. i'll take it I guess.

Changing plans before Saturday would be foolish.

What's the thoughts on traffic for those viewing east of I35? Have some family in Salado area and may drive up from the coast.

Trying to avoid a 12 hour stand still returning home.

For those that have experienced this somewhere or know someone who has, how much realistic traffic should the totality path expect?

Clouds need to hold off.

So looks like our Saturday forecast for Monday is not improving for central and south Texas

The forecast for the hill country appears to be a mixed bag. Suggesting there could be breaks in the clouds

57% chance of cloud cover here in the Waco/temple/killeen area. I'll take it. Higher chance of cloud cover to the south and east. Maybe there'll be a break or two.
